Ok, turns out you were right:

I do indeed have this in my named.conf:

zone "." {
       type slave;
       masters { 1.2.3.4; };
 file "/etc/namedb/s/.";
 allow-query { any; };
        };

Should I remove this entirely, or should I change it ?  If I should change
it, what should I change it to ?

thanks!
